Since the Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov “for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene”, the eyes of the world (or, at least, the scientific world) have been focused on this so-called miracle material.
This strange, stretchy, strong, see-through, conductive material – and its derivatives – has captured the attention of many research groups. Here’s a selection of reviews to inform and inspire:
